Description
A detailed description is given of the WA 78 apparatus, which combines a dump calorimeter and a muon spectrometer and is used to measure the cross-section for Banti B production by a high-intensity 320 GeV π- beam. The performance of the various parts of the equipment is discussed. In particular, we consider all the problems related to the calorimetric measurement in high-rate conditions. (orig.)
